   The plural noun occurs among things Solomon did not ask for and that God would give him in 2 Chronicles 1:11 and 2 Chronicles 1:12; the APB renders the surrounding lists with “riches, wealth, and glory.” In Ecclesiastes 6:2 it belongs to what God gives a man even though he cannot eat from it, while Joshua 22:8 places it among livestock, metals, garments, and spoil to be divided; Ecclesiastes 5:18 also places the form in a reflection on a person's portion from toil.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding clauses with “wealth” in the royal-gift, personal-endowment, and return-with-spoil contexts, alongside “riches” and other possessions.
